Frilly & Funkie Challenge

Hello there and happy Monday! ;-) I created this journal project for the current Frilly & Funkie Challenge, A Neutral Point of View. It was fun to work only with neutral colors, in this case mostly browns and tans.

I used Eileen Hull's popular Sizzix Journal Die to cut the covers for my traveler's style notebook. I didn't make my own insert this time but used these which can be found on amazon.

For the base color, I spritzed Antique Linen and Tarnished Brass Distress Stain onto my craft sheet and smooshed the journal covers around in it. It has a nice shimmer that you can't really see in the photo. I used my oval die to make an oval shaped stencil to paint the tan oval in the middle of the cover. When it was dry, I used different acrylic paint colors and the Cutout Floral foam stamps to stamp around the edges.

Some stamping, Paper Dolls and Snarky Stickers completed the look! This would make a great gift.

Thanks for stopping by! There is always something going on behind the scenes here so stay tuned for more projects soon.

Oh how I love this cover Lisa!!! The use of the floral foam stamps is incredible!!! We would love to have you share with us at Mini Album Makers. Find the rules: https://minialbummakers.blogspot.com/Hugs, Autumn

Some of the merchants I link to in my supply lists will pay me a small commission if you purchase anything using those links (SSS & Sizzix). I will never recommend any product unless I believe it is something good and would use regardless of any compensation.
